I love them both ... but the 68 Comeback got my vote! Dovey
68 Comeback Special
Aloha From Hawaii
Can't decide
As y'all know, both shows were awesome, but if you had to choose, which one do you think is better?
I lean towards the '68 Special cuz he looked the absolute best of his entire career. All segments of the show were amazing - the Sit-Down and Stand-Up Shows, the Gospel Number, Guitar Man segment, and my favorite Elvis song of all time - If I Can Dream. The '68 Comeback Special was the pinnacle of his career IMO. Aloha From Hawaii was #2.
I love them both ... but the 68 Comeback got my vote! Dovey
Get Him, get him~~Hot D*** ~~ he's a Squirrel!
This one is really tough - both were fantastic in their own way but I liked his energy in the '68 Special so voted for that one.
Hi!! I vote for 68 comeback special because I love his voice his sexy face (and body of course )and energy in this show, definitely it is my favorite show I LOVE it!
"God bless the day I found you "
I voted for the 68 Comeback Special. This was Elvis at his best on TV, Elvis did not sound nervous.
The Aloha From Hawaii was an historic event in Elvis's career. The first TV Show via Sattelite to be shown around the world. The biggest audience made him nervous at the start of the show.
Every man has a flaming star
Voted for 68 comeback, No male or female ever was that good looking, so sexy, so charismatic ,and such an entertainer as Elvis was in the 68 special,He was always off course, 100% all that but in that special he was Elvis 200% It was as if he re-invented himself there,it is one of the most important moments in pop/ rock history!
68 comeback special was the better performance
They're both the best of the best. I can't really choose between them. I love them both for different reasons. One was Elvis return to what he loved, the other was him showing the world how to really do it big time and pull it off.
As far as a rock&roll performance, 68 wins hands down. Vocally, Elvis put on a singing clinic during the Aloha special. To me both serve different purposes, and they also show what made EP so great, his versatility as well as his genius on the stage.
Both were great performances, but I voted for the 68' Special...
68 Comeback..........
Kind of feels like I'm a lone voice from the desert in this thread! I voted Aloha.............
The 68 Special was fantastic but I'm a Jumpsuit Junkie and can't very well not choose Aloha, this was Elvis at his Jumpsuited pinnacle. To the non-Elvis fan this is the Image that sums up the Elvis of the 70's in a positive way.
has to be the 68 comeback i love it
its got to be the 68 comeback for me too,elvis had to prove to himself he could still do it,my god he let the world know he was back.elvis is back forever.
Im afraid there is no contest for me, 68 special gets my vote,dont even have to think about it, the 68 special was what made me an Elvis fan so its very special to me but the fact he looks and sounds amazing does help!! I need a cold shower after I watch that!!
I do love Aloha, a brilliant concert and he sounds so rich, a lot of meaningful songs as well were sung. Does bring a tear to my eye sometimes that concert.
Elvis-Memories,Sweet Memories-Elvis
I thought the 1968 Comeback Special was better than Aloha, because Elvis was excited, at the top of his game, and overall, just very glad not to be on a movie set for once. He was so cool!
I'm finding it very hard to decide. I love both of them so much, and think that they are in many ways contrasting, showing different sides of Elvis. Although I'm incrediblely tempted to vote for 68 Comeback as it shows Elvis with so many energy, passion and greatness, making the most incredible return to a live audience (and he looked ridiculously wonderful, on top of his game in so many ways )... his singing in the Aloha is just so heavenly, with stunning performances too and he appealed to so many people, reaching out to so many in just such a short time.
I can't decide... they're both fantastic, and although I really want to vote for the 68 Comeback Special, I feel as though by voting for it I might do Aloha some kind of injustice so ummm I don't know.
But really for me the 68 Comeback was so spectacular and important for him that if I had to choose then it would be that. I guess. Hmmm.

"Aldous Huxley once said that an intellectual was someone who had found something more interesting than sex; in Indology, an intellectual need not make that choice at all."
(Wendy Doniger in 'When the Lingam is Just a Cigar, Psychoanalysis and Hindu Sexual Fantasies').
Wendy Doniger's book "The Hindus, an Alternative History" (see the cover), published and distributed by Penguin has been a phenomenal sales success. Already (in June 2010), more than 600 libraries in North America have acquired a copy of the book, in one year since its publication. The Indian division of Penguin has brought out an Indian reprint as well. Doniger claims that her book is about Hindu women, low castes, dogs and horses. But these merely appear to be an excuse for her to indulge in bouts of lewd descriptions, imaginary rapes, violence, titillating sleaze, drugs, booze and the like – all of which is then superimposed on the Hindus and on their traditions. As usual, she kinks fairly straightforward narratives in Hindu scriptures to present her own pornographic versions.
Read more: A Critique of Wendy Doniger's "The Hindus, an Alternative History"
Rajesh Singh
The debate over publishing house Penguin's withdrawal of a controversial book on Hinduism has largely centred round the issues of politics and 'tolerance for secular values'. In the cacophony, the core matter has been shut out from the discussions.
The points which the petitioners, who went to the court against the book, and a bunch of online protestors who wrote to the Penguin offices in the US and India, raised, have been missing from the discourse. To contemptuously dismiss them is as wrong as the withdrawal of the book, and shows similar intolerance as in the latter case.
Anirban Ganguly
The sharp protests against Wendy Doniger's convoluted and confused reading of the history of Hindu religion are justified
Writing on October 12, 1836, Thomas Babington Macaulay gleefully informed his father that their schools were "flourishing wonderfully" and that the "effect of this education on Hindoos is prodigious" because "no Hindoo who has received an English education ever continues to be sincerely attached to his religion [though] some continue to profess it as a matter of policy."
Macaulay rejoiced to think of the effects that such an education would have on the mind of young India and predicted that in the eventuality of the physical empire perishing someday this education would ensure the perpetuation of the "imperishable empire of our arts and our morals, our literature..."
Bharat Gupt
For Hinduism studies, the 21st century opens with an audacious tome by Wendy Doniger, "The Hindus An Alternative History", Penguin/Viking 2009. This act of 'courage' or saahasa (also done with plenty of saa-haasa or tongue in cheek humor), ends up being closer to the ancient meaning of the word saahasa as used in Indian law codes, that is, an offence.
After reading only a few pages of this book, I was reminded of something I did in my greener days. In late teens, when I had enough Sanskrit to read Valmiki, I went to my village educated mother, hoping to shock her, with my discovery that Valmiki's Rama when in exile used to hunt the deer, roast the meat and offer it to Sita. My mother, though not pleased at this great news, watched me intently to study my intentions and quickly took away my sadistic pleasure by quoting a line from Tulsidas, of whose Ramayana, she was a daily reader. "Naanaa bhaanti Raam avataaraa/ Raamayana shata koti apaaraa" (Rama has taken many kinds of avatars and Ramayanas are hundred crores in number).

On Baseball
October 7, 2012
DETROIT — On the American League side of October, the handwriting is already on the wall.
This sets up to be a playoff showcase for home run hitters and Justin Verlander.
The Tigers' dominator is in a group of five guys who seem likely to be listed on every Cy Young ballot that has been sent to members of the Baseball Writers Association of America. David Price is a slight favorite to stop Verlander from repeating as the American League's winner, but like Jered Weaver, Fernando Rodney (Mr. 0.60) and Chris Sale, he couldn't do enough to get his team into the postseason.
Verlander did, and now he's a threat to hog the stage. He buried the Athletics in Game 1 of the AL Division Series on Saturday night, striking out 11 en route to a 3-1 victory on a chilly night at Comerica Park.
It was his ninth career playoff start and by far his best, especially considering it came against the AL's highest-scoring team since the All-Star break.
"I tried to use (my experience) to my advantage,'' Verlander said. "Having experienced these type of atmospheres and knowing what to expect out of myself — the adrenaline, the angst, everything — I felt like I was able to corral that a little bit better and use it to my advantage.''
Verlander twice started in the 2006 World Series as a rookie, but he came into this game with a 3-3 record and 5.57 ERA in the postseason. Manager Jim Leyland blamed extra rest for Verlander seeming almost human in the early innings and seemed to find nothing that remarkable with his striking out five in a row at one point.
"His stuff is what it is,'' Leyland said. "Very good stuff with a bunch of above-average major league pitches. Nothing surprises you with him.''
Consider it a major surprise that the A's are in the playoffs. They are one of the best stories of the season, coming together in the second half with a rotation headed by rookies Jarrod Parker and Tommy Milone, who faces the Tigers' Doug Fister in Game 2 on Sunday.
By winning their last six games, including a sweep of the Rangers in the season-ending series, the A's completed a comeback only four other teams (1914 Braves, '51 Giants, '78 Yankees and '95 Mariners) had, recovering from a 13-game deficit to finish in first place. This always might be remembered as a collapse in Texas, but a 57-26 record after June 30 makes the A's what the Amazin' Mets were to the '69 Cubs.
But that's where this comparison stops. The A's don't have Tom Seaver; the Tigers do.
Verlander was dominant after allowing a home run to leadoff hitter Coco Crisp. Talk about false hope.
Verlander would walk Yoenis Cespedes in the first inning, but he never again allowed the A's two baserunners in an inning. Plate umpire Jim Reynolds was calling a wide strike zone, and Verlander used all of it.
"I think we were a little frustrated, yeah,'' A's manager Bob Melvin said.
As he often does, Verlander got tougher and tougher as the game went on with his performance elevating like a great tenor building his voice in a crescendo before the final notes.
If there was a turning point, it came in the third inning. After Stephen Drew pulled a one-out double into left field, Verlander retired Cespedes on a grounder to third base and then recovered from a 3-0 hole to strike out No. 4 hitter Brandon Moss.
It's possible Moss never could get his head right after Reynolds gave Verlander a 3-0 pitch that was six inches off the plate, maybe more. Or maybe it didn't matter, as he was no match for the 2011 MVP.
Verlander had at least one strikeout in every inning. He was getting swings and misses on high-90s fastballs in his five-strikeout run, which started with Moss, Josh Reddick and Josh Donaldson in the sixth, the last of which came on a 99-mph fastball. Seth Smith and Derek Norris went down swinging through 97- and 98-mph fastballs to start the seventh.
While the crowd of 43,323 buzzed every time Miguel Cabrera came to the plate, Parker and the bullpen kept him at bay. The Triple Crown hitter got a run home with a double-play grounder in the first but was 0-for-3 with a walk.
That's OK. The way Verlander was pitching, anything from the big man would have been overkill.

One Tree Hill Sneak Peek: Will Dan Scott Survive?by Matt Richenthal at .
Only three episodes of One Tree Hill remain, and following last Wednesday's thrill ride, it's clear on what the next new installment will focus: the fate of Dan Scott.
Will he survive? Will viewers need an extra box of Kleenex? In one of the following videos, we see Nathan rushing to the hospital with his father; while in the other, executive producer Mark Schwann previews "Danny Boy" as one of the best episodes in show history.
Watch both now and then also check out the official One Tree Hill series finale synopsis released last week by The CW:

dan shot keith because he slept with deb, karen and keith were getting married, lucas prefers keith as a father, dan thought keith was the one who tried to kill him in the fire, and they hated each other.
dan finds out that deb tried to kill him in the season 3 finale and that is when dan went to keith's grave and cried because he realized what he has done.
dan tries to redeem himself in season 4 by being with karen when she is pregnant with keith's child.
Hope this helped:)
I have faith that Dan will live. I know that I'll be very pissed off if he dies.
Side note: Loving the random scene they threw in with Lucas and Karen.
Random question: Does anyone know (other than Deb) why Dan really shot Keith? Because I feel as though people would actually understand why Dan did what he did.

These screws will do the job, however I feel that they do not give a fit and finished look, and do not complement other stewmac hardware. They are also VERY easy to strip out, even with a good screwdriver.
Nice screws, good plating, the heads dont strip out very easily. Great for rings.
They work, but just barely. If they where a little bit longer or they had a longer option it would be better.
I bought the mounting plate and the screws, but the plate you sell doesn't match. The screws need to be longer.
At first impression, they looked a bit tiny. Altough well made and beautiful, and perfect for neck rings, they won't fit taller rings, or secure bridge rings firmly. They are a good fit for stewmac rings, anyway.
These are the absolute best pickup mounting ring screws out there. Many don't notice the details, but these are the same type of screws found on custom shop instruments by many big-time makers. Absolutely love these!
A good quality screws.
Okay for the neck pickup on an LP, but to short for the bridge. It would be nice if they offered this screw in 2 or 3 different lengths.
Never spend your time and money running around looking, when all you have to do is go to Stew-Mac and get the job done right,for the right money and no questions if they will fit.
I wish there were some longer ones for the raised bridge humbucker ring, but I managed to get a few threads into the body of it.

Celebrities as Real People: Not a Pretty Picture
Jennifer Aniston defies time, gravity, and other forces of the universe to appear extraordinarily toned, dewy, and youthful at age 43, and according to reports, spends over $100,000 a year to do so. We've heard about other star's regimes to get camera ready--including $500 dollar facials, raw food diets, and five hour a day work outs. What if they all just cancelled their Botox, fired their trainers, and said, "yes" to few bacon cheeseburgers? Danny Evan's 'celebrity make-under' series, Planet Hiltron, pictures the A-listers as normal folks and with hilarious results. "Basically just stripping away their cool personas," the New York City artist tells the Daily Mail, "I always find it interesting to see what's left after the Hollywood has been scrubbed off."
Which stars would you like to see get a make-under? Please let us know in the comments below.

The lynchpin of the French New Wave, Jean-Luc Godard was arguably the most influential filmmaker of the postwar era. Beginning with his groundbreaking 1959 feature debut A Bout de Souffle, Godard revolutionized the motion picture form, freeing the medium from the shackles of its long-accepted cinematic language by rewriting the rules of narrative, continuity, sound, and camera work. Later in his career, he also challenged the common means of feature production, distribution, and exhibition, all in an effort to subvert the conventions of the Hollywood formula to create a new kind of film.
Godard was born in Paris on December 3, 1930, the second of four children. After receiving his primary education in Nyon, Switzerland – during World War II, he became a naturalized Swiss citizen – he studied ethnology at the Sorbonne, but spent the vast majority of his days at the Cine-Club du Quartier Latin, where he first met fellow film fanatics Francois Truffaut and Jacques Rivette.

Top 29 Cities To Live In 2009
Why you should live in Hamburg
Living in Hamburg allows you to enjoy the best that a European urban lifestyle has to offer without the high costs of its major capitals. Germany's second-largest city scores lower on the 2008 Mercer cost of living index than 50 other world cities. With its new rail connection to the airport you could be in London, Paris, Amsterdam or Berlin in less than two hours, but with so much close to home, why bother?
Shop for the latest men's fashion from Gucci to Zegna, dine in any one of 11 Michelin Guide one-star restaurants or sample a celebrity chef's creation. Take in the annual film festival or a concert or play, keep fit along the shores of the Alster lake or Elbe river in the constant stream of clean, fresh air from the North Sea. Enjoy the greenery under the canopy of a tree population that outnumbers the city's own 1.77 million inhabitants. Enjoy the nightlife with no fixed closing time in a variety of trendy neighborhoods with a German beer or two at about $4/half-liter.
It's also a good place to look for work. Hamburg's unemployment rate fell and the number of jobs grew at a rate of 2.5% although the figures for the coming year are likely to reflect the worldwide downturn. Hamburg is Germany's media capital, employing 70,000 people with another 60,000 working in information technology. Hamburg is also home to a major Airbus plant employing more than 10,000 people.

Why you should live in Hamburg in 2009
Hamburg likes to bill itself as an ambitious city on the move, and to back that up they point to the HafenCity, Europe's largest inner-city development project. Building 5,500 apartments and 2-million square meters of shopping and office space in 12 new harborside neighborhoods alongside the historic warehouse district will boost the downtown area by 40% over the next 15 years and create 40,000 jobs. Think London Docklands with a German accent. A new underground rail link to the city center is also under construction.
Topping it all off, the Elbphilharmonie concert hall with its audacious rolling wave design will be completed within the next year and is set to become the city's new iconic landmark to rival that of the Sydney Opera House as a harbor gateway centerpiece.
Hamburg is home to all of Germany's top-tier sports leagues and will host the UEFA Europa League European club soccer 2010 championship game in the 57,000-seat covered HSH Nordbank Arena. HSV is playing near the top of Germany's premier soccer league, and you can also see the Hamburg Freezers play top-level ice hockey or the 2007 European Handball champions HSV play in the modern Color Line Arena.

|Sticky Tag:
Add support for ANSI specified :print-function and :print-object defstruct options while preserving previous behaviour. ANSI processing is enabled by ext:*ansi-defstruct-options-p* which must be NIL while compiling CMUCL, PCL, CLX, HEMLOCK to avoid flushing defined print-functions. This switch is turned ON when worldload builds a core with PCL in it.
o Compiler backend for the PowerPC contributed by Gary Byers.
Add CMUCL style file-comments; from Peter Van Eynde.
Added sgi support.
Added support for the Alpha.
Move VMDIR function here from comcom, since it seems somewhat more generallty useful.
Can't write-line a pathname...
Changed COMF to allow any COMPILE-FILE options to be passed through. Changed CAT-IF-ANYTHING-CHANGED to look for .bytef's as well as native fasls.
Don't handle compiler-errors, since the compiler should handle them.
Changed comf to load the object file instead of the original name.
Changed comf to not force the pathname type to ``lisp'' but to default it to lisp if unsupplied.
Added a ``continue'' handler in comf around the compile-file so that if proceed is true and we get a non-continuable error, we will just punt the compile of that file, and not the load of worldcom or whatever was calling comf.
Added CAT-IF-ANYTHING-CHANGED, for use with creating {clx,hemlock}-library only when necessary.
Moved NEW-BACKEND into .../compiler/backend.lisp.
Moved {TARGET,BACKEND}-FEATUREP into .../compiler/backend.lisp.
Some hacks to new-backend: The misfeatures are now specified as an argument instead of a defparameter, and it's not assumed that the VM package exists.
Added defns for BACKEND-FEATUREP and TARGET-FEATUREP.
Added NEW-BACKEND for use with cross-compiling. Some tweeks to package state dumping.
Changed WITH-COMPILER-LOG-FILE to pass through any keyword arguments to WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT.
Merged in many changes from william's play area (mostly ripping out old hacks.) Also, added some package hacks for renaming packages and dumping package state.
Changes to get fasl file type from backend.
Parameterized COMF by TARGET-FASL-FILE-TYPE.
Flushed some old UNIX-PIPE package hacks. Made GC notify be "." only when not *INTERACTIVE*.
Added debugger package hackery.
Export some DEBUG syms.
Zap some syms bugging the debugger.
Added definition of PARSE-UNKNOWN-TYPE condition.
Noew and fixed features.
In COMF, flushed code that was periodically doing a FORCE-OUTPUT. This is no longer necessary with the new file streams.
Added some package hackery so that things will still compile in the new ALPHA core.

'Solar freedom' law won't see light of day
The General Assembly has upheld Gov. Bob McDonnell's veto of legislation preventing community associations from prohibiting the installation of solar panels on homes.
The Senate could not muster the votes to override the veto of Senate Bill 627, which had been sponsored by Sen. Chap Petersen, D-Fairfax.
Petersen expressed disappointment that his "solar freedom" bill will not become law. He said the bill would have allowed all Virginians who live in homeowners associations to lower their electricity bills and qualify for federal tax credits by installing solar panels on their houses.
Some community associations traditionally have prohibited or restricted solar panels for aesthetic and property-value reasons. In 2008, the General Assembly passed a bill proposed by Sen. Frank Wagner, R-Virginia Beach, to address that situation.
Wagner's measure said that after July 1, 2008, community associations could not impose rules to "prohibit an owner from installing or using a solar energy collection device on that owner's property. However, a community association may establish reasonable restrictions concerning the size, place, and manner of placement of such solar energy collection devices."
Because of a grandfather clause, that law did not affect solar-panel prohibitions that had been in place before July 1, 2008. That's why Petersen introduced SB 627 this legislative session.
"Ninety-nine percent of the homeowner associations' covenants were unaffected by the law in 2008 because the restrictions already existed," Petersen said. "My bill struck out the grandfather clause and said this will be the state law across the board and prohibitions on solar panels are not enforceable in Virginia."
During the General Assembly's regular session, the Senate passed SB 627 on a 31-8 vote, and the House approved it 74-24.
But on April 9, McDonnell vetoed the bill.
The governor said the 2008 law provided community associations with more than enough opportunities to change previous covenants regarding solar panels. SB 627 was an attempt to retroactively enforce that law, McDonnell said. He said it would have violated both Virginia and United States laws.
"Senate Bill 627 appears to contradict the general legislative rule that statutory enactments are applied prospectively," McDonnell said. "In addition to the problem of retroactive application, the legislation potentially violates both the United States Constitution (Article I, Section 10) and the Virginia Constitution (Article I, Section 11) by 'impairing the obligation of contracts.' "
Overturning a veto requires a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and the Senate. That means getting 27 senators to vote in favor of overriding the vote.
Last Wednesday, the Senate voted 21-18 in favor of overturning McDonnell's veto – and so the vote failed.
Solar installation has become increasingly popular around the country, creating new jobs and a new way to power homes and businesses, Petersen noted.
"There are a lot of new technologies out there in residential improvement industry which we need to encourage. Solar installation is certainly one of them," he said. "The businesses that install solar panels are small businesses, and I want to make sure that they can sell their products and not go up against a lot of red tape and legal prohibitions."
In an interview, Petersen said he probably will reintroduce the legislation in the future.

A fun, fuzzy ride
'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

Russian World Studios Premieres Avid
St. Petersburg's Newest Production Center Installs System 5 with EuCon Hybrid DAW Control
Russian World Studios (RWS) one of the country's premier TV-content and film production companies, has installed a 56 fader System 5 with the EuCon Hybrid option for control of Pro Tools and Pyramix Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) in their St. Petersburg-base facility.
Founded in 1998, RWS is one of the leading TV-content and film production companies in Russia. The company has serviced more than 400 television and film projects, both locally and internationally and has worked with some of the world's largest international entertainment companies, including Sony Pictures Television International, Hallmark Entertainment, HBO Films, and Beacon Pictures.
In order to meet the ever-growing demands of the international television and film industry, RWS-St Petersburg was opened in 2008 with the new Dolby® Premier studio opening in September 2009. "We chose the System 5 Hybrid for RWS St Petersburg because of the tremendous reputation it has gained in the international film post production world. The Hybrid control of Pro Tools and Pyramix speeds up our work significantly without using all our DSP resources," said Alexey Shulga, lead mixer and Head of Post Production for RWS.
The EuCon Hybrid Option for System 5 digital audio mixing systems extends the control capabilities of the console beyond the dedicated DSP Cores to the outside world, bringing Mac and PC DAWs tracks onto the console surface for mixing. What sets the EuCon protocol apart from other control systems is its use of high-speed Ethernet to communicate with the DAWs. This simple fact reduces parameter change delays and increases resolution.
There are also System 5-MC DAW controllers installed in Nevafilm and Melnitsa Animation Studios in St. Petersburg.

"Women made most of the oldest-known cave art paintings, suggests a new analysis of ancient handprints. Most scholars had assumed these ancient artists were predominantly men, so the finding overturns decades of archaeological dogma."
Did you check EVERY cave in the world? EVERY painting in the world? Doubt it. It could be either women or men who did it most if you look at it like that, but who cares? It's finger painting.
Also, dogma about men being the only artists? From who? I've never heard anything of the sort or any of these "scholars". Most people generally never cared about the sex of the people making cave-paintings. I would assume that most people (including myself) would've thought that men and women equally contributed in it. I doubt anyone ever has thought it was ever mostly, or even completely, men who did this. It has nothing to do with a "male bias" in literature.
This article is just more useless "battle of the sexes" garbage. Give it up. It's amazing how women can do something (if this is even true) so insignificant and minor (yes it is) and it will be viewed as an amazing accomplishment. They made some finger painting in a cave, good for them. Not really a big deal.
Respect lost for National Geographic for making this just another "men vs women" article.

Review this game
Apr 21, 2014A decent shooter at best. It has a long and fun single player camgain but there are really big problems. First of all the game is swarmed with bugs. Frame rate chops nearly ever level, you can't reload your guns, you can't throw a grenade you've cought, enemies don't die even you shot them several times. There is practically no story, all the maps and settings look the same, and there are like 3 QTEs which will repeat through the whole game dozens of times. CoD 3 adds nothing to the Call of Duty franchise and it is too obvious that it was rushed to make it to the (then) next-gen consoles.… Expand
Jan 16, 2014I know I have played and completed this game I cannot remember a thing about it, it only earns a 2 because It must have been engaging enough to play through to the end. Overall the only thing I can say is that it's not as memorable as COD 2 or Modern Warfare, the gameplay is same old just without anything that stands out like in the previously mentioned COD titles.
Oct 26, 2013its a good game
it was fun to play it
it has a good gameplay and still better
than modern warfare. i think that the original trilogy
is better than modern warfare
Jul 13, 2013My score is based on the single player campaign only. This COD slipped through the cracks and I have just played for the first time in 2013, but I would have scored a five in 2006 as well. Terrible A.I. with allies blocking my path forward, enemies spawning in front of me I crouched and watched this for minutes (fascinating, like a mass exodus in star trek) annoying save points, the list goes on. After COD 2 this is definitely a step in the wrong direction. I have been retro buying early shooters to keep, but this one is OUTA HERE … Expand
Jun 25, 2013It's gameplay and graphics may not be as revolutionary as Infinity Ward's predecessor, but Treyarch's "Call Of Duty" still represents a memorable WWII shooter that rings a high-note in the franchise's narrative track record.
Jan 29, 2013An overall decent FPS, that brings little more to the genre than more beautiful graphics and the grappling encounters. Worth getting if you like WWII shooters.
Nov 28, 2012This game sucked the tanks are too overpowered the maps sucked ppl can drop shot with their eyes closed this game sucked it was aweful it sucked dont get it
Apr 14, 2012It's horrible in my oppinon and I can tell you. The campaign's crap as hell and needed work. And the multiplayer was was even worse with messed up combat and broken guns. Campaign 4/10 Multiplayer 2/10 COD 3 4.2/10
Mar 31, 2012An OK game. Brings little new to the table. Has some very fun objectives and has some interesting characters, but they were largely forgettable. Graphics are OK, nothing special, but the game still hold very smooth and fun gameplay that can be enjoyed for long periods of time
Mar 11, 2012This game has an obvious difference from other call of duty games. The intensity in the campaign story and gameplay is not as good as the other call of duty games. The dialogue is so boring and does not hold my attention. The ragdoll physics are funny.. you'll go to melee a kraut and often times they will launch into the air like a 10 pound ragdoll. The gameplay overall is not bad, but I liked call of duty 2 better overall even with the not as good graphics.… Expand
Jan 29, 2012I was originally going to give this a higher score, but before I could finish the campaign (I was on the last chapter/level) the game glitched on me and erased all my data, which sucks because the campaign was actually kind of awesome, granted it started off slow and suffered from awful cutscenes with horrible writing, crappy voice acting, and unlikeable characters, and some repetitive mini games, and you can still find multiplayer matches online, and the multiplayer is the most unique in the series featuring large open maps with emphasis on character classes and vehicles, and I would personally like to see the series try this style of multiplayer again, it may renew peoples faith in the series after MW3, so it's a great game, but receives this score because of all the glitches I encountered like my data being erased, it freezing up on me, and several others, so it's a good game hindered by bugs and glitches.… Expand
Nov 26, 2011average campaign but good multyplayer,quit fun with a full team playing capture the flag!with tanks and jeeps this the funnest call of duty i've played.
Nov 16, 2011Nickels? Really? Who would call their child Nickels? I'm come on! That name wrecked the game play for me and I couldn't focus to killing anything because that guy's name was Nickels. And how can you have a good arm if your name is Nickels? I don't like that name very much.

Jul 27, 2011Treyarch made big mistake in putting a number for a franchise that is not even of them, normally destroying the projects of Infinity Ward ( because IW never made a third installment if you've have seen). Usually when they announced World at War , that seemed to be their real CoD version . Apart from those mistakes, CoD3 plays nice enough , great intensity , good pace , and fine multiplayer awards the players satisfaction. I just don't want them to put their wrecking hands on another developers franchise. Take it or leave it.… Expand
Jul 17, 2011Don't Get Me Wrong, The Multiplayer is amazing in Call Of Duty 3, but it really bugs me how after Call Of Duty 2: Big Red One, the greatest campaign ever made by Treyarch, that the campaign in Call Of Duty 3 absolutely SUCKS. The script written for the whole thing is terrible, and the gameplay feels rushed. It's like they completely copied and pasted the Big Red One Engine and away you go. It also pisses me off how they bragged about how Call Of Duty 3 was the most historically accurate CoD game there is. Well, it is, but who gives a **** Did I also mention the famous "in your face" action? When the German puts his gun in your face and you have to wrestle? Yes, if you haven't mastered the art of tapping a button repeatedly, you are screwed. And You're not the only one. It probably takes about a whole minute before you win the fight. That "in your face" thing is crap and for a game where time is crutial, a waste of precious time.… Expand
Sep 26, 2010Call of Duty 3 is probably the best COD game I have played, and still remains that way. MP was very well balanced, with some of the best maps in the series. Once COD 4 came out, the series seemed to take a dive for the worse. The class based system, and vehicular gameplay trumps the close quarter combat, run and gun style of the newer COD games.
Sep 21, 2010Review9 10 I have not played this game for a while, and now that i've said that it makes me want to go and take a look at the game. But COD3 was overall a pretty fun game, the campaign was not that long but most COD games campaign only last 6 hours any way. The multiplayer was ok and i'm not a fan of vehichles in war games except for battlefield because the maps are so big and the game types require vehichles. Back to cod3, it didn't have a great multiplayer and that is one of the reasons that it brings it's score down, but the other reason is the graphics. THERE WAS NOT ANY GRAPHICS DIFFERENCE AT ALL BETWEEN COD2 AND COD3. Because of those two reasons i give the game a 5.5… Expand
Aug 30, 2010Decent game all and all but there are some major problems that hold this game back. For example, all of the quick time events are really repetitive never really that interesting. Once again, this shooter is good but brings nothing new to the table.
While the [single-player] combat is still brilliant and it looks a lot better, the unskippable cutscenes, unvaried locations, irritating characters and mini-games all really grate. However, adding in the much improved multiplayer with a variety of cool vehicles, Treyarch has really rounded off Infinity Ward's vision. [Dec 2006, p.90]
The scope for large online battles and some great fun action in the single-player mode make this a worthwhile purchase. Fans of "Call of Duty 2" will really have a lot of fun with it. But Call of Duty 3 could have and should have, been better than this.
Treyarch and Activision have done an great job with COD3 and created an experience that is at once much the same, but also better, than its predecessor.

Cressida Bonas Gossip
Cressida Bonas gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Royal Girl Sh-t
There's a story that showed up on US Weekly about how Princess Catherine is dealing with Hot Harry's reportedly imminent engagement. According to a royal biographer: "Kate and Cressida aren't a natural fit, left to their own devices. Full Story
Keep getting familiar with Hot Harry & Cressida
Rex Features via AP Images, Chris Lee - RFU/ Getty
Last week it was WE Day. They sat in the audience together and made it very clear how close they are. And tactile. Click here for a refresher. Yesterday Harry took Cressida to a rugby match. So another public appearance and she's looking up at him adoringly and we're getting acclimated now to the fact that they're out there, in the open, increasingly comfortable in the open, because, if the reports are to be believed, they'll be official soon – a new royal engagement to distract us. Full Story
WE Day with Hot Harry & Cressida
WENN, Karwai Tang /Anthony Harvey /Getty Images

Hot Harry & Cressida: date night with her brother
Prince Harry and Cressida Bonas went out for dinner last night in London after he attended a memorial service for Nelson Mandela. They were with her brother-in-law Sam Branson. They went to The Ivy. F-ck, why couldn't I have been at The Ivy last night with Hot Harry and his soon-to-be-fiancee instead of on a red-eye with Team Rob Ford? Anyway, Cressida is living with Harry now at Kensington Palace. Full Story
Holiday party without Harry
James Whatling/ Splash
Prince Harry is trekking to the South Pole. In his absence, his ex-girlfriend and his current girlfriend showed up at the same party last night in London.

Cressie quits dance for Harry
Wenn, Matthew Lloyd/ Getty
Cressida Bonas studied dance. Her dream was to be a dancer. But now, according to UK royal gossips, she's working as a PA at a London office because it would be unbecoming for Prince Harry's future wife to have "dancer" on her bio. It's OK that she went to school for it. Full Story
Why you should buy PEOPLE this week with Hot Harry on the cover
For Hot Harry maybe getting married? NO. Look in the corner. In the corner is all that matters. Here. Look in the corner: RIVER PHOENIX It's been 20 years. So who gives a sh-t that they keep insisting that "Harry" is crazy about "Cressie"? Or is it "Cressy"? F-ck it, whatever. Full Story
Harry to marry?
Chris Jackson/ WPA Pool/ Getty
But first, check out hot Harry being super cute with the babies in Australia the other day. The thing about Harry that's so irresistible and entertaining is that he doesn't seem to change his personality with the venue or the event. Wherever he is, Hot Harry is always at the club. Tonight Harry is at a fundraiser for Sentebale in Dubai. Full Story
Hot Harry in a hat
Little G of Cambridge? Hot Harry is over it already. Like I said, while everyone else in the world was fapping over the birth of the new king, Harry was getting sunburned in the garden at Kensington Palace, enjoying the fact that no one was paying attention to his summer parties and how often his girlfriend Cressida Bonas was over. Full Story
Hot Harry on a Horse is in love

Hot Harry's wedding love triangle
Wenn, Danny E. Martindale/ Getty
I posted a preview on Lady Melissa Percy and Thomas Van BeeZee's wedding on Friday – click here for a refresher. As mentioned, Hot Harry was there to support his best friend. And his ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy was there to support her best friend, Missy Percy. Full Story
Love Triangle at the Blue Blood English wedding
Wenn, WPA Pool/ Getty
Prince Harry's best friend Thomas Van BeeZee is marrying Lady Melissa Percy tomorrow in a castle, obviously, in Northumberland. Because her father is the Duke of Northumberland. It's one of the Duke's THREE castles, along with holdings all over other parts of England. Will and Hot Harry were at Van BeeZee's stag a couple of weeks ago. Full Story
Why Harry can't marry
Prince Harry was at the London Marathon yesterday supporting the athletes. He took his time speaking to participants, encouraging their efforts, expressing his admiration for what they've accomplished. And when they asked him whether or not he or his family members would run the marathon one day, as usual he joked about his brother William, saying that he's now too old to race. Full Story
When can Harry hold Cressida's hand?
Jesal / Tanna/ Splash
Prince Harry went out with friends the other night in London. Not an unusual occurrence, except that Cressida Bonas, his girlfriend, was in the group. Well that adds another dimension to the "I Love You" phase in a relationship, non? On top of when to say it and how long to wait before saying it, when you're royal, of the Windsor House, does it come with extras? Like, how long do they have to be together for before they allow themselves, knowingly, to be photographed in the same frame in public, at a rugby match or something. Full Story

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

Health and Medicine Newsroom
|Taking technology to Malawi to improve HIV/AIDS research
|Date: 01/09/2013
Contact: Judy Lin and Dan Go
With nearly 23 million people across the African continent living with HIV/AIDS, public health experts across the globe are working feverishly to stem the epidemic. Among them is UCLA's Pamina M. Gorbach, a behavioral epidemiologist whose research recently took her to Malawi, where 10 percent of the population lives with HIV/AIDS, the leading cause of death in that country.
Gorbach and her research team found that the women in the Malawi study reported that they preferred to do an audio "interview" with a handheld ACASI device compared to a face-to-face interview. Particularly significant to researchers, the participants were likely to give more honest and accurate responses in a computer-assisted interview than when asked the same questions face-to-face by a human interviewer.
Perhaps these results aren't so surprising, given such deeply personal interview questions as "In the past three months, how many sex partners have you had?," "Have you had anal sex?" and "The last time you had vaginal sex, did you use study gel [the experimental microbicide] or a condom?" While questions like these must be asked to enable a better understanding of HIV/AIDS transmission and prevention, Gorbach said that "sensitive or "socially undesirable" sexual behaviors are known to be underreported, while socially desirable behaviors such as adherence to taking medication or using condoms tend to be overreported. The ACASI interviews in Malawi, conversely, produced higher reports of sexual behaviors and lower reports of adherence - results that, Gorbach noted, "support the assumption that [computer-assisted interviews] can improve the accuracy of the data."
Enhancing the user-friendliness of this approach, the audio devices were programmed to ask the interview questions in the local Chichewa language - one of 21 languages and dialects in which the software can be programmed. The devices also incorporated images to improve comprehension for women with low literacy levels.
"The incorporation of graphics for non-literate participants was an important element in customizing the ACASI application," said Gorbach. For example, for the question about the number of sexual partners, an interactive screen depicting a man's face allowed for reporting more than one partner. Each time a participant tapped the image on the screen in response to this question, a new face appeared to indicate a different partner. Because of these images and the audio, a participant did not need to be able to read the question or response options.
The handheld devices have the capability of transmitting data wirelessly via the Internet, but given limited Internet access in Malawi, the devices were set to record the subjects' responses on built-in digital cards. Data from the cards were seamlessly transferred to a data manager computer that researchers could then use for analysis and completion of the study.

Kanawha Commission, Frontier work to curb scam
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The Kanawha County Commission is working with Frontier Communications to unravel a telephone fraud scheme.
A Putnam County resident contacted the Kanawha County Commission office on Thursday to notify officials of the scam.
The resident reported receiving two phone calls from a number registered to the commission, according to a press release from County Manger Jennifer Sayre.
The county-registered number was 304-357-0101, according to the release.
The resident said the caller attempted to obtain credit card and Internal Revenue Service information.
The commission immediately notified Frontier Communications to see if the county-registered number had been compromised, according to the press release.
"If you receive a call from 304-357-0101 and they are requesting information regarding your finances, credit cards or IRS information, please hang up," Commission President Kent Carper said. "This is a scam and not the Kanawha County Commission."
